I have had my cheap $40 fedora for years, it's a size 7 7/8, and just a bit too small to be useful. Over those years, I've never seen a size 8 hat anywhere, do they exist?

great!

Must have passed over those, they are quite simply the first I've seen, but cannot be the last. I'm partial to that first one so we'll see what happens.

I think both of them are nice and since they are new old stock if you can get both of them my friend.:)

If you want a custom fedora we have several really good honest hatters here at the lounge that can make your hat size for you.:cool2:

Are you stuck with a custom...?

Maybe not, but you're stuck with the title of "biggest head on the Lounge"! :D

What was the item number for that auction? Somehow I missed it, and I'd like to see what it looked like.

Thanks,

David

Wow, you got a vintage size 8 within a week of first looking? Amazing! Don't expect to see another one for a long while. :(

Congrats on the purchase!
